*clears throat* Ok.
So, Kasumin seems that some people are confused about our ages, so here Kasumin has two charts. The left one is our "canon" ages. The right one is our SIFAS ages.

Kasumin will explain it in the thread below.

So, the main confussion that Kasumin sees, is that people tend to think that the students in the school years are from the same natural year. This is usually correct for western countries, but NOT for Japan. In Japan, the students from a school year aren't always from the same >

> natural year (January to December). Instead, they're sorted from the ones born from April 2nd, to April 1st of the following natural year. Why? Well, because the school year in Japan starts in April. That's why in a lot of school animes, anytime they start a school year, or >

oldest. Now that we explained that, we can sort easily the idols by their age. But, why Kasumin assigned those years for each group? Well, the "canon" ages, it's just a theory actually. We don't know their real birthdays canonically. But we do know by Sunshine, that the Aqours >

As for the SIFAS one, Kasumin since all the stories are happening at the same time (despite the obvious time incoherences), Kasumin just sorted everyone by their birthday and school year. Since Saint Snow hasn't appear yet at SIFAS afak, they're not included in it. And that's all
